Looks like a nice player though.

A little awkard to hold though?

[Cygnuz-Y]

I got the Sandisk 1GB because of the combination of price, fm tuner, and the amount of flash memory it has (didn't want a hard drive based model).

The controls are a little unintuitive but you can get used to them. Other than that, it's a great player (I have an h320 which replaced my h120).

How pocket "friendly" is the Zen Touch 20gb?

I know it's a bit thicker than the Ipod, but does it still fit smoothly in your pocket?

I own a 320, and the only complaint I have is that iRiver America has yet to release the firmware update that lets you play video. Apparently, the international version permanently breaks DRM if you load it onto a US player.

But I'm hoping that they'll release it soon :)

Oh, and when people say the player is confusing to use, I don't get it. 5 minutes into using it, and it becomes second nature.

The video playback is still rough, either way. It's only 10fps and only plays xvid files.

As for it being difficult, it's not. However, the knob control of the h1xx series was much more intuitive than the new button interface. You have to press the buttons twice, for instance, to skip to the next track once the screen turns off. That one extra press is annoying to someone like me.

Well, I didn't buy it to be a video player, but the fact that it can play video to some extent makes it spectacular.

I mean, for things like Family Guy and The Simpsons, I don't see 10fps being that much of an issue.

Well I've gone ahead and ordered the Zen Micro. They finally appeared on the Creative site with the free extra battery so I thought that was well worth it.
